Sure. Just write a module in C and load it in. Easiest way would be to
write a simple C function that does the job, then convert it into a
Python (or Perl, or Tcl, or Guile, or...) loadable module with SWIG.
Language wars are boring. If you're a good enough programmer, you can do
anything. If you suck, no programming language, paradigm, or RAD tool
will save you.
